Four Cups
Exegetical Approaches
Four Cases of Praise
There are four instances in the Haggadah where we sing Hashem's praises, in Kiddush, Maggid, Birkat HaMazon and Hallel. Since praise is normally accompanied by wine, these too are said over a cup of wine.
Sources:Tosafot
Why four? According to this approach, there is no special significance to the number four. It so happens that there are four places where we "toast" Hashem's miracles and thus there are four cups of wine.
Halakhic ramifications
